FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject modification to Permit No. 1448, 

issued on January 9, 2004 (69 FR 3332) 

is requested under the authority of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and 

the regulations governing the taking, 

importing, and exporting of endangered 

and threatened species (50 CFR 222–

226). 

Permit No. 1448 authorizes the permit 

holder to handle, measure, flipper tag, 

scan for Passive Integrated Transponder 

(PIT) tags, biopsy sample and 

photograph a total of 1,500 loggerhead, 

50 green, 250 leatherback and 50 

hawksbill sea turtles and handle, 

measure, flipper tag, scan for PIT tags 

and photograph a total of 50 Kemp’s 

ridley sea turtles over the duration of 

the permit. Seventy-five of the 

loggerheads and 20 of the Kemp’s 

ridleys will also be dip-netted. This 

research is conducted on animals that 

have been already incidentally captured 

in commercial fisheries operating in 

state waters and the Exclusive Economic 

Zone in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean to 

determine the size and composition of 

populations of sea turtles found in the 

commercial fishing areas of the 

Northwest Atlantic Ocean and to 

establish individual identities of turtles. 

The permit holder requests additional 

authorization to biopsy sample any of 

the 50 Kemp’s ridley sea turtles for 

which the permit holder is already 

authorized to handle, measure, flipper 

tag, scan for PIT tags and photograph 

that are greater than 25 cm in total 

carapace length notch to tip). Tissue 

biopsies would be collected using the 

same protocol currently authorized by 

the existing permit. This data would 

help confirm observer identifications of 

sea turtles made by collaborating NOAA 

researchers.
